IMPORTANT: amaxtravel.com refused all connections from the research environment (ECONNREFUSED), so package fields come from search-engine snippets of amaxtravel.com pages, not full page reads; prices differ between the USA page and city pages (e.g. Dec 2026 quad $2,990 USA vs $3,160 Chicago vs $3,010 New York) and the Ramadan trip is '8 nights' on one page and '9 nights (4+4)' on others. Deposit on a Thanksgiving page: $1,000 per person non-refundable; other pages say cancellation terms depend on airline/hotel rules. Site says ladies under 45 and children under 18 must travel with mahram and show proof of relation. Hajj 2027 tiers ($9,990-$15,990) marked sold out.
